Hello!

The pilot Unknown Language Round #1 will take place soon (Monday, 21 February). It will be the usual ACM-ICPC unrated contest. The only feature - you will be able to submit problems using the only one, not very popular language. What? It's a secret!

MikeMirzayanov

UPD: The language annoncement will be available about 5 minutes before the contest.

The contest language is Tcl. Tcl (originally from "Tool Command Language", but conventionally rendered as "Tcl" rather than "TCL"; pronounced as "tickle" or "tee-see-ell") is a scripting language created by John Ousterhout (from Wikipedia article). Here is the sample program which reads and writes a single integer number:
 set line [gets stdin]<br> scan $line "%d" n<br> puts $n 
You may use "Custom Test" feature (see contest user interface) to run your programs.

UPD: The contest is over: final standings link. Do you like the contest?

In preparation were involved Mike Mirzayanov, Artem Rakhov and Max Ivanov. Tasks were translated into English by Maria Belova.

Hello!

This contest has been prepared by Artem Rakhov and other participants of Petrozavodsk Training Camp from Saratov State University. We stopped solving problems of the camp, missed the lecture by Vitaly Goldstein (do not be angry, Vitaly), but the round has been prepared and we are waiting for you - the participants.

Happy hacking,
MikeMirzayanov and team Codeforces

Good evening! 

I am glad to invite you to participate in Codeforces Beta Round #52 (Div. 2). Today's round was prepared Michael Mirzayanov, Max Ivanov and Maria Belov. 

It's possible that "out of the competition"-participants will not be able to use the tab "hacks". Do not panic, on the next Div. 2 Round we will necessarily fix it. 

Good luck!
Artem Rakhov and Codeforces team
